Title

Amendment to the Humboldt County Zoning Maps to be consistent with the 2017 Humboldt County General Plan

 

Project Description: Humboldt County Zoning Maps are proposed to be amended to be consistent with the 2017 Humboldt County General Plan.  The following Zoning Districts are proposed to be applied: 1) Mixed Use Zones will be applied to areas with MU - Mixed Use, VC - Village Center, or RCC - Rural Community Center General Plan designations, 2) an “RR - Railroad” Combining Zone will be applied to railroad rights of way held by the North Coast Railroad Authority, and those along the former Annie and Mary Railroad rail corridor between Arcata and Blue Lake, 3) a “MR - Mineral Resources” Combining Zone will be applied to parcels with permitted surface mining operations; 4) a “TL - Tribal Land” Zone will be applied to the areas with a “TTL - Tribal Trust Lands” or a “TL - Tribal Lands” Land Use designation that are not zoned "TPZ"; and 5) a “WR - Streamside Management Areas and Wetlands” Combining Zone will be applied to properties designated by the General Plan as Streamside Management Areas and/or Wetlands.  In addition, specific zones are proposed to be assigned to all areas currently zoned “U - Unclassified”.  Other minor changes to the Zoning Maps are also proposed to be consistent with the General Plan. The rezoned properties occur throughout the non-coastal areas of unincorporated Humboldt County. 

 

Staff Recommendation: Receive a staff report and public testimony and deliberate on the proposed zoning map amendments in a public workshop format, provide direction to staff on suggested modifications to the zoning maps, and continue the item to the meeting of October 3, 2019 to make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors.
